Following the TCS religious conversion case that was exposed in the Nashik region of Maharashtra, a Pune-based IT company has now come into the spotlight, facing similar accusations. A former employee of Wipro Technologies has stated that she was subjected to religious harassment, workplace discrimination, and coercion, leading to her resignation. The matter has reportedly been taken up with the Hinjawadi Police, and a legal notice has been served on the company.
According to her statement, the colleague intruded into her personal life and suggested that abandoning her Hindu faith would result in a better lifestyle and greater opportunities abroad. The complainant said she opposed these suggestions and eventually limited all interactions with the colleague to official work-related communication.
The former employee further claimed that she reported the matter to senior management. However, she alleged that no action was taken against the colleague and that her concerns were disregarded. Instead, she stated that a complaint was subsequently lodged against her before the company’s internal Ombuds Committee. She also accused certain company officials of displaying bias during the inquiry process, alleging that despite submitting evidence and raising concerns through official channels, her account was not given due consideration.
Advocate Vivek Bhosale, representing the former employee, alleged that the resignation was secured under duress and violated principles of natural justice as well as labour laws. He stated that a legal notice has been sent to Wipro seeking the employee’s reinstatement with continuity of service, withdrawal of the resignation, and compensation of Rs 50 lakh for alleged mental distress and damage to her reputation.
The legal notice also reportedly demands an official apology and action against those accused of wrongdoing. It further warns that civil, criminal, and labour court proceedings may be initiated if the company fails to provide a satisfactory response within 15 days.
Members of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, who accompanied the former employee during the press conference, called for a comprehensive investigation and urged the Maharashtra government to intervene. They argued that the allegations raise broader concerns about workplace safety, religious freedom, and the effectiveness of grievance redressal mechanisms in corporate environments.
This is very close to what happened in Nashik, Maharashtra
The case came to light after a woman employee filed a complaint at the Deolali Camp Police Station. As more victims came forward, a clear and disturbing pattern began to emerge. The accused allegedly created multiple WhatsApp groups and smaller internal communication circles to engage with colleagues and gradually influence them. Victims claimed that individuals were shortlisted based on personal vulnerabilities such as emotional stress or family issues.
Several victims claimed that repeated complaints had been made to the company's human resources department, including over 78 emails and multiple phone calls, but no effective action was taken. The allegations against Nida Khan herself are chilling in their specificity. According to the FIR, Khan allegedly advised women employees to dress and behave in accordance with Islamic traditions. Some complainants alleged that they were coerced or pressured into adopting religious practices, including praying, changing dietary habits, and adopting religious symbols.
In the given case, as of now, Wipro has not issued an official response to the allegations. The claims made by the former employee and the supporting organisations have not been independently verified, and the matter remains under investigation.

In a separate complaint, the complainant said that in August 2025 she was called into a Microsoft Teams meeting with company representatives and was pressured into submitting her resignation. She stated that the resignation was obtained without her free consent and that she was not provided a fair opportunity to present her side of the matter.

A similar incident was exposed in the Nashik district of Maharashtra.
